Deep rhythm captivates me
Hot rhythms stimulates me
Can't help but swing it boy
Swing it brother swing
Don't stop to diddle-daddle
Stop this foolish prattle
Come on swing me boy
Swing it brother swing
Rarin' to go and there ain't nobody
Gonna hold me down
Say listen boy
Hurry up and send me
Let me go to town
Stop this diddle-daddle
And this foolish prattle
Come on kill me boy
Swing it brother swing

Deep rhythm captivates me
Hot rhythms stimulates me
Can't help but swing it boy
Swing it brother swing
Don't stop to diddle-daddle
Stop this foolish prattle
Come on kill me boys
Swing it brother swing
Rarin' to go and there ain't nobody
Gonna hold me down
Say listen boy
Hurry up and send me
Let me go to town
Stop this diddle-daddle
And this foolish prattle
Come on knock me out
Swing it brother swing
Swing brother swing
